    Desert Tech MDRX Calibers

    Simple question really, in 2021 can you buy a NIB Desert Tech MDRX in 5.56x45? Their website lists 5-6 calibers but 5.56 ain't one of them. .308, .300 BO, 6.5 CM, and 223 Wylde just to name a few that are available. Unless the .223 Wylde option is compatible with 5.56 NATO? Thanks!

    US Military Designations

    Maybe kind of a strange question, but what happened to the firearms in between the well known ones? For example the Garand was the first rifle designated M1; United States Rifle Caliber .30 M1. The next standard issue rifle was the M14 and then the M16. But what happened to the missing ones...

    Firearms Trading Sites

    Just outta curiosity what trade sites do you go to when looking for deals or just to see what's out on the market? Could apply to more than just firearms, for example I deal occasionally in rare balisong knives, but firearms are the primary trade. Gunbroker is the most obvious but I've also...

    M16A4 Clone Trigger Opinion

    Need some opinions. I have an FN Military Collector M16 that I topped with an ACOG to make the rifle as close as I can to a USMC M16A4. The only thing missing is the giggle switch, but it's as close as I can legally make it. It looks awesome! :D That said the USGI trigger is... uh...

    6.5 Creedmoor Semi Auto

    A couple weeks ago I submitted a thread in the Bolt Guns section asking for input about what everyone thought would be a good 6.5 bolt gun. The response was awesome and after some thought, I've made no decision. :confused: So I thought I'd ask the same question but this time with regards to a...

    CZ Bren 2 Factory BUIS

    Does anyone know what brand the sights are that come on the CZ Bren 2 pistols from the factory? Are they CZ made or are they like a Troy sold under license. I can't find them sold on the CZ website. I have a Bren 2 MS Carbine but for whatever reason it doesn't come from the factory with iron...

    SPAS-12

    Been looking at the possibility of purchasing a SPAS 12 with folding stock lately. Problem is the market seems to be all over the place on value. Some go for $1,900 and other fetch $4,200. There is a guy nearby asking $3,600 for one he claims is BNIB, looks like it was never fired save for some...

    6.5 Creedmoor Rifle

    Finally decided I want to invest in a 6.5 CM rifle. After some soul searching, I'm thinking a bolt gun is the best option for me. I can worry about the optic later, that will be a while different bag of worms. I was looking at a Remington 700 5R or a Christianson Arms Ridgeline. Considered a...

    Hammer Down

    Just out of curiosity how do you store your firearms? Hammer down or cocked on safe? I'm talking about a firearm truly in storage, not a nightstand/concealed carry setup. Whether it be AR15, M1 Garand, Glock 19, CZ Scorpion, Yugo 59/66, or Remington 700 I've always stored hammer down. Years ago...

    Armslist Transaction

    Anyone have any advice for Armslist transactions individual to individual that require shipping to a local FFL? I found a rifle I've been looking for for years now but my only option would be to have it shipped. I don't think the listing is a scam but it's not something I'm willing to gamble...

    Benelli M4 H20 Pricing

    I've wanted one of these semi-auto shotguns for years and now finally have the money to make the purchase. Specifically, Benelli model 11796. :cool: But... Wow... All the ones I see for sale on GB are like $3500+. When did that happen? For the longest time you could get 'em all day long for...

    M1 Tanker; .308 or 30-06

    It's decided, I'm gonna buy a "Tanker" Garand because reasons :D The only question is what caliber? I've talked to a few guys who say that the 18.25" Tanker barrel is much more pleasant to shoot in .308 but the 30-06 seems much more pure to the platform. .308 would also be slightly cheaper to...

    Binoculars For Spotting

    Last weekend I went to the range and long story short my spotting scope started giving me a headache after about 20 minutes of sighting in my new Galil Ace. I've never been thrilled with the eye relief issues and strain it causes and am now considering replacing it with a pair of high end...

    AK-74M Style Rifles

    Been looking to get an AK-74M style rifle for several years now. Now, after making a few sales to my collection, I'm really getting serious. Originally I was thinking an Arsenal SLR-104FR but holy yowza! The price has skyrocketed, $1800+ for a rifle that was going for $1200ish only a few years...

    CZ Bren 2 MS Carbine Opinions

    Saw these on the CZ website and the first thought that came to mind was "ACR Killer"; the build quality of Remlin has really gone downhill. My 1895 SBL is proof of that but that's another story. Anyone have any experience with one of these? They look awesome and would fill the role of "not...

    Binary Trigger Symbol

    I've got a Springfield Armory Saint that I'm going to install a Frankling Armory Binary trigger into. Since my safety selector will soon be able to go into all three positions I was looking for a new marking for the positions. I don't really want to use the huge red sticker that comes with the...

    Scope Sight In Process

    So I can't believe I'm asking this question but how do you all sight in a scope? I ask because I just watched a video where the guy gives directions that are the EXACT opposite of how I've always done it. The way I've done it in the past is to bore sight my rifle, take 5 shots, and see where I...

    SCAR 17S Build

    So I recently came into some money and decided to go through with something I've wanted to do for a while: obtain a FN SCAR 17S. I shot one once a couple years ago and fell in love but my budget was not up to task. I currently have a pretty tricked out M1A EBR with several cool additions that...

    Springfield Armory Saint Binary Trigger

    So I recently acquired a Springfield Armory Saint for a screaming deal (that thread is floating around here somewhere in the semi-auto section) and decided it might be fun to use the money I saved to invest in a binary trigger because honestly why not? I'm not looking to be a mall ninja but I...

    BCM Keymod Grips

    So I recently acquired a Springfield Armory Saint and it only seems fitting to add a BCM type vertical grip to given the abundance of other BCM parts already on it. I've narrowed it down to 2 of BCM's offerings but for the life of me can't figure out why one is $20 more than the other. They...
